About the Role

We are seeking a Registered Nurse to join our specialized Critical Care teams. In this role, you will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individual patient care on a nursing unit according to established policies.

This position requires the flexibility to work on other nursing units based on staff and patient distribution to maintain a high level of service.

Our Specialized Units

Heart and Vascular Cardiac ICU (5-1 SP) This is a fast-paced, high-acuity, 14-bed critical care unit caring for adult patients with complex cardiac and medical diagnoses, including myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, unstable arrhythmias, and heart failure. Our staff are trained in advanced heart failure management, including short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support (such as intra-aortic balloon pumps, Impella catheters, and LVADs) and evaluation for advanced therapies and transplantation.

RN-HVC Cardiothoracic ICU (CTICU/WP3) This 18-bed cardiac surgery unit specializes in care for complex post-operative patients, including CABG, valve replacements, aortic dissection repairs, heart transplants, and LVAD implantations. Notably, this is the only unit in the YNHH health system that cares for patients requiring ECMO (VV or VA). Nurses here are trained on devices based on their experience and progression of skills, handling complex needs like IABP, Impella/VADs, and CRRT.

HVC Cardiovascular ICU and Stepdown (5-4 SP) This 14-bed hybrid unit consists of 8 ICU and 6 stepdown beds. We specialize in caring for patients post-complex vascular surgery, such as aortic repairs, and post-cardiac surgery patients in our ICU beds. The stepdown beds accommodate patients with a variety of complex heart and vascular diagnoses.
